 Note that there are 2 (related, but quite different) bugs here.
 
 The bug I observed occur, in scanf(3) (sscanf(3) actually, but
 that is irrelevant), and then the one I detected in the source
 code, which is actually a bug in the wscanf(3) family of functions.
 
 They both affect running *scanf() in a locale with a multi-byte
 LC_NUMERIC decimal_point character, which works in neither variant.
 
 However, the code which is broken is quite different in the two
 cases.   Both will be fixed.
